Deep learning is useful for enterprises tasks in the field of speech recognition, image classification, AI chatbots, and machine translation, just to name a few.

In order to train deep learning/machine learning models, applications such as TensorFlow, MXNet, Caffe, and XGBoost can be leveraged. And sometimes these applications will be used together to solve different problems.

To make distributed deep learning/machine learning applications easily launched, managed, and monitored, we introduced, in Apache Hadoop 3.x, YARN native services along with other improvements such as first-class GPU support, container-DNS support, scheduling improvements, etc. These improvements make distributed deep learning/machine learning applications run on YARN as simple as running it locally, which can let machine learning engineers focus on algorithms instead of worrying about underlying infrastructure. Also, YARN can better manage a shared cluster which runs deep learning/machine learning and other services and ETL jobs with these improvements.

In this session, we will take a closer look at these improvements and show how to run these applications on YARN with demos. Audiences can start trying running these applications on YARN after this talk.
